Silk Road MapsPosted Sep-26-06 15:41:16 PDT Another gift from my brother, Mapping the Silk Road and Beyond, merges my interest in Central Asia and cartography. Spanning over a 1000 years, this book has images and commentary on maps of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, China, Mongolia, and Japan. Although the maps are stunning and the commentary is very insightful, I had hoped to see more maps by some of famous explorers of the Great Game era like Hedin, Montgomerie, and Przevalsky. |
